One creative solution to reduce plastic waste is to introduce a ‘deposit-return’ system for plastic products. In this system, consumers would be incentivized to return plastic bottles, containers and other plastic items to designated recycling centers by giving them a deposit which is refunded when they return the item. This would encourage the reuse of the materials and reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment.
